Section 1
Re-recording Only a Mistake (Punch-in/out)
You may occasionally make a mistake while recording, or the
performance may not turn out as you expect. In this case, you
can punch in/out to re-record only the portion that is
mistaken.
Changing to recording during the playback of a song is
referred to as punching in, and changing from recording to
playback is referred to as punching out.
Therefore, punch in at the location where you want to begin
the re-recording, and punch out at the location where you
want the re-recording to end.
fig.01-301
With your BR-900CD, you can choose from manual or
automatic punching in/out.
* You can use the Undo function (p. 57) to revert to the
condition before re-recording.
* The data prior to punch-in/out will remain on the memory
card without being erased. If this data is no longer needed, in
order to use the memory card effectively, use the song optimize
function (p. 78) to delete unneeded data from the memory card.
Manually Punching In/Out
You can use the button on the BR-900CD or a foot switch to
punch in or out.
When you are playing an instrument and performing the
recording by yourself, it may be difficult to punch in or out
using the button on the BR-900CD. If this is the case, you can
use a separately sold foot-switch (BOSS FS-5U, Roland DP-2,
etc.) and use your feet to punch in and out.
* When using manual punch-in/out, you need to allow for an
interval of at least one second between the punch-in and
punch-out points.
Manually punching in and out
using [REC]
As an example of use, the explanation below assumes you
are manually punching in and out to re-record a portion of
track 1, which is a track to which you have already recorded.
1. Press REC TRACK [1].
REC TRACK [1] lights alternately in orange and green.
2. Place the fader for track 1 at the location shown below.
fig.01-302
3. Start playback and adjust the volume of the input
source using the INPUT LEVEL knob.
Listen to the track you will be re-recording and the input
source and adjust the volume of the input source using
the INPUT LEVEL knob so that it is the same level as the
track.
4. Move to a position before where you want to start re-
recording and press [PLAY] to start playback.
5. Press [REC] to punch in at the location where you want
to start recording.
The BR-900CD starts recording.
6. To punch out, press [REC] (or [PLAY]) again.
Each time you press [REC], you punch in and punch out,
so if there is another location that you want to redo, then
you can punch in again at that location using the same
procedure.
7. Press [STOP] to stop recording.
* During updating, “Keep power on!” appears in the upper line
of the display, while the lower line shows what is being
processed.
8. Listen to the re-recorded results.
Return the song to a point earlier than you re-recorded,
and play it back.
Adjust the volume of track 1 using the TRACK fader.
